A: Don't do buttock implants and tummy tuck together

By Parham Ganchi, MD - New Jersey Plastic Surgeon

I do all the procedures that you are thinking about. I do NOT recommend getting a tummy tuck (mini or regular) and buttock implants (or buttock fat injections) at the same time. You have to think about your recovery. You need to rest on your back with your midsection flexed to protect you tummy tuck. You... more

A: Liposuction, Mini Tummy Tuck, Buttock Implants safety

By Christopher L. Hess, MD - Fairfax Plastic Surgeon

Performing multiple surgeries at the same time is quite safe nowadays. Most people are concerned about the anesthesia but the medicines we use are very safe. If you think about it we often keep critically ill patients under anesthesia for days on end without untoward effects. So even though... more

A: body contouring and safety

By Trevor M. Born, MD - Toronto Plastic Surgeon

Dear Tiff, you ask a very important question. Procedures can be combined safely. The type of procedure may preclude the combination but your doctor will know best. It is important to be able to mobilize/move after your surgery so that you do not develop stiffness, prolonged discomfort and... more

A: Buttock Augmentation and Liposuction

A: Is it safe to get Mini Tummy Tuck, Liposuction, and Butt Implants at once?

By Ricardo Rodriguez, MD - Baltimore Plastic Surgeon

Yes, with several caveats. As a rule, try to get an anesthesiologist who is familiar and proficient with IV sedation. The risks of general anesthesia go up with the length of the procedure. As for the buttock implant, I'm not a big fan. I have done fat grafts to the buttocks for 5 years without any... more

A: Butt augmentation.

By George J. Beraka, MD - Manhattan Plastic Surgeon

Hi! I don't do butt implants; there are too many problems. You are better off with butt augmentation using your own fat. You want liposuction anyway, so that's how the fat is harvested. It's ok to do the procedures together.

A: Mutliple procedures

By Steven Wallach, MD - Manhattan Plastic Surgeon

I am not a big fan of the butt implants that are available in the US. They are too hard and not as soft and natural like the ones available outside the US. But, if you decide to have all 3 procedures at once, it is probably OK as long as you are healthy and the surgical time is not too long.

A: Probably not safe to get these procedure at once

By Michael C. Pickart, MD - Ventura Plastic Surgeon

I wouldn't recommend doing surgery on the front (tummy tuck) and the back (buttock implants) at the same time. The recuperation from either one will be diametrically different from the other. For example, I ask tummy tuck patients to stand, walk, and sleep with a 45-degree bend at the waist. Those patients... more
